The garage gets broken into a second time while their neighbors, two gay guys who are hoping to flip their house for a profit, watch with dismay. The box of porn magazines has been disturbed again. Elsie and Nate argue about the box and where it’s still there. She asked him to get rid of it, he replaced the old. Falling apart box but kept the magazines. Nate notices there are empty water bottles and candy wrappers, as well as a blanket, in the garage. He places food and water for the intruder. He notices that whoever is breaking in is also looking at his extensive blues albums collection. He puts the Muddy Waters records back into the box and takes out the Howling Wolf records for review.

Everyone, including the neighbors, goes to the garage to witness the arrest. It is an African-American boy, Darrel (14) who reveals his has been sleeping in the garage because he’s run away from an abusive group home. Elsie and Nate discuss fostering him, they decide to but the fathers try to sabotage their efforts.
